I am CW2 with about 3 more years till CW3 ( I did high school to flight school) , But i'm almost finished with my Associates. I found it easy to take classes during my first deployment, now that I am home there is the Wife, kids, house, Guillows models....no time.

Hi Dave Still on the subject of the Skyhawk,how did you make such a good job of conecting the wing struts, Guillows supply some bits of plastic, but god knows how you make agood job fitting them, Your advise would be appriciated BRBurns (Barrie)

Mr. Ducket, i was so disopointed with the wing strut plastic ones that i havent even looked at the plane since i stoped on it. thats a wonderful kit, the spirit, guillows needs to fix all of those errors on the plastic bits before laser cutting.

i remade them out of balsa, clay, and some spackle but i have learned so much since i build the spirit i dont want to finish it.

Mr Duckett - now will you fill in the gaps with balsa or is it done?

squish, if you look closely it looks like the decal is held on with some tape.
